IMDb plot summary: Kitty Bellairs, a flirtatious young woman of 18th Century England, cuts a swath of broken hearts and romantic conquests as she visits a resort with her sister.
Directed by Alfred E. Green. Starring Claudia Dell, Ernest Torrence, and Walter Pidgeon.
Sweet Kitty Bellairs is a 1930 musical comedy about a young woman who is rather bold with her affections and has to choose between her suitors. There's also a subplot where she helps reconcile a friend with her emotionally distant husband. While this has a lot of fun pieces to it, it's all over the place in that kind of silly way you see in a lot of early movies that want a chance to show off all their stars' singing and dancing skills more than finding a coherent plot. Some of those moments work better than others, but overall the plot is so disjointed that none of them end up with any substance to them; it's just a series of vaguely enjoyable sequences. What I expect will happen is that individual moments from this are going to live in my memory, but I'll never remember that they all came from the same movie, let alone what movie that was.
